Paw Paw Jelly

Jelly is fun for kids to eat – and make!  And its quite easy to do at home without a packet mix.  Just remember, the gelatine does need to be boiled to remove the sulphates.

One of Oscar’s favourite songs is “Aeroplane Jelly”.  I sang it to him once when he wanted a plane song – it was the only one I could think of!  It’s a pity he can’t eat it.

Natural paw paw jelly.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Gelatine
  • 100ml Hot water
  • 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 1 cup Paw Paw (chopped)
  • 400ml Syrup from pears in syrup

Optional

  • Fruit (red/golden delicious apples, bananas, pears) (peeled and chopped)

Directions

1. Combine the gelatine, hot water and brown sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Boil for 5 minutes. This will remove the sulphates from the gelatine.
2. Add the paw paw and 100ml of the syrup to a food processor and process until puréed.
3. Add enough syrup to the paw paw purée to make up 400ml. Add the gelatine and mix through.
4. Place some fruit (optional) in the bottom of 3 or 4 jelly moulds or small bowls then pour in the jelly mixture.
5. Place in the fridge to set, about 1 hour.

Note

High Amines, Low Salicylates, Low Glutamates

Most gelatine contains preservative 220, however this can be boiled off as I've done in this recipe.  Very sensitive people may still have a problem with this.

Optional -  use different types of fruit to place in the bottom of the cups:

  • Bananas (moderate to high amines)
  • Red or Golden Delicious apples (moderate salicylates)
  • Pears
